[Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

Hi Arch Linux community

I'm using Arch Linux since quite some years. At a new workplace, the standard setup is Ubuntu 18 with kerberos/LDAP login. As I want to use Arch Linux, I got the LDAP, kerberos, pam, etc. settings from the system administrator. I followed the Kerberos guide and the LDAP guide and the setup seems to work.

Since login with a kerberos user doesn't work with gdm, I had a look in the gdm logs (journalctl -u gdm) and discovered the following:

I read on the web that pam configs vary between Linux distributions. As the 

@include

seems to be the problem, I would like to know the correct syntax for Arch Linux or how I have to change the config.

Thanks for you help in advance,

Cheers,
Andreas

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

See pam.d.5 specifically include and substack also PAM#PAM_base-stack.

I had a look at pam.d.5 and changed all the 

@include

to 

include

since 

include

seems to be a valid control value. However, this doesn't seem to be the case as my gdm logs now complain about the 

include

.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

include and @include are not the same thing, the syntax and meaning is vastly different.
Please post the offending pam module as well as the files it tries to include.

Edit, for clarity: @include is a debian deprecated downstream patch thing.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

Please find the configs below. I hope I got them all. Let me know if not. I'm not very familiar with either pam, kerberos or LDAP and also not with their configs and syntax.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

Don't use any of that. Restore the system /etc/pam.d/login and insert the proper krb5 references there, see https://man.archlinux.org/man/community … _krb5.5.en
You can use "password    [success=2 default=ignore] … "

Edit: or add it to /etc/pam.d/system-auth but that still needs the proper login module restored.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

Sorry for my pam beginner questions. Can I take these values

auth            sufficient      pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
session         required        pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
account         required        pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
password        sufficient      pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000

since the authentication (I guess all the four lines are sort of authentication) should be via kerberos?

Yes. Sort them into /etc/pam.d/system-auth

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

Due to the fact that I'm still unsure in which order I have to add the entries above into /etc/pam.d/system-auth, I thought it is a good idea to follow the steps in Configuring PAM authentication. Since pam_winbind.so was not present, I also installed samba. kinit and klist still seem to work and GDM now complains about different problems.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

It's not pam, but the winbind request fails.

Can you post the instructions you got from the admin (obfuscating priate data, login/password etc. is fine)

As I didn't want to create so many gists, I packed it all. You can get it here.

It is not fully updated to reflect the integration of pam_systemd_home.so into the current system-auth.  That does not appear to be the cause of your current issue.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

The ubuntu config files are all about ldap, there's no winbind reference, so there's likely also no server.
I had rather hoped for a "here's what we provide at which ports (and this is about how you somehow configure it on ubuntu)" document - but the Uni Tübingen has a lot of google hits when it comes to ldap and none for winbind. So they're not doing that ;-)

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

As far as I'm informed, not every department at the University of Tuebingen has the same setup. Due to historical reasons, the department, I'm belonging to, has quite a unique setup within the University landscape.

I guess there is no other way than really dig into the Ubuntu config files and try to apply it to Arch manually.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

There's no winbind in the ubuntu config, only ldap.
If that config works on ubuntu, you don't need winbind and there's no reason to assume there'd be a winbind server

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

By adjusting system-auth, I'm now able to login. I had to manually change the home folder to the uid and gid of the kerberos user. One thing that doesn't work yet, is sudo. I added the user to the wheel group but I get the following:

sudo: account validation failure, is your account locked?
sudo: as password is required

Any idea, in which pam setting file I have to adjust something?

I get the following logs with journalctl:

audit[1452]: USER_AUTH pid=1452 uid=xxxxxx auid=xxxxxx ses=3 msg='op=PAM:authentication grantors=pam_permit acct="ziegler" exe="/usr/bin/sudo" hostname=? addr=? terminal=/dev/pts/1 res=success'

/etc/pam.d/sudo, 

…
password         include         system-auth

?

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

My /etc/pam.d/sudo is:

#%PAM=1.0
auth             include     system-auth
account        include     system-auth
session        include     system-auth

So I guess, I have to add the password line.

accounting grantors=?

What does system-auth actually look like atm?

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

I copied the account and session entries from the ubuntu config into system-auth and now it seems to work. Thanks for spotting the missing entries and your help in general. As a  fresh ldap/kerberos/pam user it would be nice if distros could use some sort of standard.

Re: [Solved] Difference between Ubuntu and Arch pam.d config

You'd actually just have to inject the kerberos modules into the default system-auth shipped with https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/pambase/

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
